"The Evaluation of Learning Resources (EvaLeR) in Emergency Medicine"

This work will directly probe the validity of the continued prioritization of print textbooks as the superior learning resource in emergency medicine (EM) and determine whether such recommendations are evidence-based. The instrument we develop will help guide resource selection for EM trainees, curriculum development, and investment in digital learning resources. Our findings will help ensure that EM residents are directed toward the best learning resources so that they can provide high-quality care for patients.
